Why are volunteers so valuable?

The Silverdale Volunteer Fire Company is a 100% volunteer fire department. The members do not get paid or reimbursed for their time spent in the organization.

It’s important to know that we do not receive state or county funds. We depend on fundraisers, donations, and the subsidy we get from Silverdale Borough and Hilltown Township. If we were to close, your taxes may or may not increase. However, your insurance costs would at least double!
